Some bands just have it. Impossible to truly describe, Swim School are drenched in that scuzzy, fuzzy je ne sais quoi. It’s a quality that marks out an act able to push beyond the jagged shores, peppered with the husks of new bands past.
Maybe it’s the gutteral drop that echoes in the start of bone-bare rager ‘Delirious’, or the jangling highs of opener ‘Don’t Leave Me Behind’. It could be the vampy cool of the soaring ‘Bored’, or the marching advance of closer ‘Over Now’. Or, let’s be honest, maybe it’s all of that put together.
There’s no one lane for Swim School to stick to. They’re brilliant at all of them.
